I saw it a couple of weeks ago. It was a good film, but most of the impact was in the special effects. Some of the stuff was really unlikely, like a 'blizzard hurricane' forming over land. The idea behind the movie has been seriously investigated, and it has been suggested that the Gulf Stream could be cut off in as little as 15 years. However, most scientific opinion is divided on the subject. I suppose it is possible, but if it happened, it would probably happen on a much larger scale than just several days.




I agree. NOAA has some interesting ideas in this artilcle.
